Rough getting use to the living arrangements here... 3 ppl to a room with hospital style curtain dividers between beds, so god forbid your roommates snore or even better talk or YELL OUT in their sleep! Earplugs definitely help...! People are generally friendly, which is good, because one persons space is everyone's space, so to speak. It's a very integrated community! Pretty decent food with a menu to accommodate most everyone's dietary needs and restrictions. Just enough seating to accommodate everyone AND encourage a bit of social interaction. By giving notice of your departure time ,destination, and return time/date, most residents have he free some to leave and move about the city at their leisure. read more

My daughter lived here two times, each time for 8 months. She made friends with other residents. She had several roommates (not all at once), and she keeps in contact with a couple of them. She was able to change roommates when she had an incompatible one. The staff were wonderful with her. They genuinely cared for her, set appropriate limits consistent with her behaviors, and spent much time with her (although it was never enough from her point of view). She received timely treatment plans, excellent life coaching, and constructive behavioral feedback. She benefited from the nurses' advice when she was worried about a symptom she was experiencing. Once, a nurse attended a doctor appointment with my daughter to advocate for her. My daughter did not care for the food at Andrew, but she didn't like my cooking, either. She prefers restaurant food, which can be chosen from a menu at meal time. I was never concerned that my daughter was not being cared for. I talked with her every day and spent time with her frequently, so I knew what was going on. Lots of residents live there; that was the main thing my daughter complained about. She was "one of many" and wanted to be the center of attention. read more

This is a place where those who have mental illness and have no where else to go are sent and forgotten. Even though I have lived here for 6 1/2 years, most of it was not at all pleasant. read more
